Every year at Coachella, the art installations cause a variety of reactions.

“Wow.”

“Interesting.”

“WTF?”

“Tower of Twelve Stories” by Jimenez Lai of Taiwan/Canada really lights up the Coachella night sky this year. It sort of resembles a piece of modern furniture, with compartments put together to form one structure. It may be a statement as to how we’ll be living in tiny spaces in very strange buildings in the future.

One installation that is on the “WTF” part of the scale is “The Armpit.” It led to the first time I’ve ever been able to say, “Let’s get in line to see ‘The Armpit!’” It’s meant to be interactive. The minute you walk up the ramp and inside the armpit (that just sounds funny, doesn’t it) … it, thankfully, is not very armpit-like.

The first room of the work, designed by Katrina Neiburga and Andris Eglitis of Latvia, features old television screens showing random bits of film; one screen displayed a random fact about Albert Einstein. One part on the second floor has a bunch of broken televisions. The balcony offers a great view off the grounds—with a ride that offers a 360-degree view of the Coachella grounds.

The “Katrina Chairs” by Alexandre Arrechea of Cuba has become a conversation piece online. I’m not sure what to think; it looks like four giant chairs with little apartments on top.

“Portals,” by Phillip K. Smith III of Palm Desert, is inspired by modernism, and to me, it feels a little bit like Eero Saarinen architecture. The exterior and interior are vented with mirrors angled in a way that you can see through them—but the closer you get, the harder it is to see through. On the inside are chambers with resemble speaker heads on the walls, with a tree growing out of the middle of the structure.

“Sneaking Into the Show” by the Date Farmers has an eerie feel. Two figures are very tall and look like they should have some advertising on them, placed outside of some tourist trap.

I saw plenty of photos last week of “Besame Mucho,” a large sign that says just that—made entirely of flowers. The translation is “Kiss Me a Lot.” I suppose that’s fitting considering how many love stories and romantic connections there have been at Coachella, including Sean Lennon and Charlotte Kemp-Muhl from Ghost of a Saber Tooth Tiger, and Aaron Paul from Breaking Bad meeting his wife, Lauren Parsekian.

One thing that’s missing this year is a large exhibit that moves through the audience throughout the grounds. There was the giant snail in 2013, the astronaut in 2014, and the caterpillar that became a butterfly in 2015. What’s up, Coachella?
